Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God. – John Calvin (1509-1564)
Matter
Here is the crux of the whole matter.
In this material world, the Christian
believes that none of the things he
or she can touch are really worth very
much. The Christian endures as seeing
the invisible, the spiritual – another
world. For him or her, that which has
real existence is spirit, not matter.
A.W. Tozer (1897-1963)
